| EVENT FAB: YBF Chicks Gabrielle Union, Kerry Washington & Zoe Saldana Get GLAM At Pre-Oscar Events Posted: 27 Feb 2011 02:45 PM PST As part of our continuing coverage of the beautiful people in Hollywood this weekend, we've got pics of three gorgeous ladies and their glam events. Come inside and see Gabrielle Union, Kerry Washington and Zoe Saldana get fab....
CEO Niche Media Jason Binn, designer Rachel Roy, and actress Gabrielle Union attended the Montblanc Cocktail Party co-hosted by Harvey and Bob Weinstein.
The party celebrated the Weinstein Company’s Academy Award Nominees and the New Montblanc Charity Partnership with the Princess Grace Foundation-USA at Soho House in West Hollywood.
Gabrielle looked white hot. Love seeing her in colors other than black. This drapey cut suits her well. But would have loved to see it belted and a bit shorter.
And over in Santa Monica at the 26th Film Independent Spirit Awards hosted by Jameson Irish Whiskey... Kerry Washington rocked a vintage inspired floral fantasy dress. I love a good floral print and Kerry is selling this Dolce & Gabbana frock from head to toe. Love the "red rose" lipstick and matching pumps too.
And another pretty lady, Zoe Saldana, was also at the Spirit Awards. I love everything about this Dolce & Gabbana dress. It's fun, flirty and it photographs well.
Lookin' hot Zoe. Photos via WireImage  |
| TRAVEL CANDIDS: The Smiths Depart LAX Posted: 27 Feb 2011 01:44 PM PST
The Smith family was spotted at LAX last night preparing to board a flight. See how the first family of Black Hollywood travels to the airport inside...
Last night the Smith family left LA before all of the Oscar madness got started. Jada looks fabulous even at her most casual. This is a big week for Willow as she's set to premiere her second single “21st Century Girl” tomorrow at 10:30AM ET with “On Air with Ryan Seacrest”. She will also appear on "Oprah" tomorrow. I wonder if her brother Jaden will be there?
I don't know why they even bother to search Will Smith. He already saved the world in Independence Day. He gets a pass. Photos via Hot Shots Worldwide/Splash/Bauer Griffin  |
| EVENT FAB: Foxy Brown, Selita Ebanks, Keri Hilson, Wiz Khalifa, & More Hit BET's "Rip The Runway" Posted: 27 Feb 2011 11:36 AM PST WHAT in the Wet & Wild Snookie hell got into Foxy Brown last night?? She hit up BET's Rip The Runway taping at the Manhattan Center in NYC, and ish just went left with the guest list.
Victoria's Secret model Selita Ebanks MC'd along with hottie Mechad Brooks. But that's about where the fabness ended. Peep pics from BET's upcoming fashion show when you read on... Now I'm not saying I expected Rip The Runway to be on A-list level with celebs and show quality. But damn. From the looks of the pics (and yes, YBF was on the red carpet as well but that's a whole other story), this show seemed to be an afterthought thrown together last minute this year. Foxy Brown showed up in this aqua and black bandage dress that she looked mad uncomfortable in. What made her rock a Snooki poof is beyond me. But I see she aint giving up on Wet & Wild #318B anytime soon, seeing that she's incorporated their blue mascara into her life as well. You're too pretty for the foolishness Fox. SMH.
Host Selita Ebanks rocked this pink and nude mini dress and hit the carpet with BET exec Stephen Hill. She posed it up for the cameras of course. Co-host Mechad was looking clean on the carpet. Fabolous and Wiz Khalifa kicked it on the red carpet and performed in the show. Wiz is going too far with this black and yellow hair. Lloyd hit the carpet with a model chick. He was there to perform. Angel "Lola Monroe" Luv is really trying to channel Marilyn these days. She dyed her hair bleach blonde and tried to do the all nude and gold makeup. But she just looks washed out. Try again boo. Is she still trying to rap? Jesus take the TJ Maxx women's section. I do loves me some Ms. Lawrence of ATL Housewives, but this right here.... Sigh--speaking of ATL Housewives, Dwight, really? And little Justin Combs hit up the event looking cute.
Here's pics from the show, airing March 21st at 10pm ET :

| Lil Wayne Stopped And Searched At Miami Airport Posted: 27 Feb 2011 09:00 AM PST It's a good thing Lil' Wayne is taking his probation seriously. The "Roger That" rapper was recently stopped and searched at Opa-Loca airport in Miami earlier this week. Find out what the DEA found after the jump...
Shortly after departing his plane at the Opa-Loca airport in Miami this week, DEA officials did a sudden contraband search of Lil' Wayne, who's currently on probation stemming from incidents involving drugs and guns. During the search, the DEA found that Lil' Wayne was clean as a whistle. I'm sure the DEA just assumed..because he's lil wayne and all...they had a live one on their hands. WOMP WOMP. Stay clean Weezy and keep making music.
